All In The Family

"The Washington Post Co. said today it is buying Slate in an effort to boost the newspaper company's online traffic but does not plan any editorial changes at the eight-year-old Web magazine." - Howard Kurtz

This has been rumored for a while, I was hoping we would go for Salon, but Slate ain't bad either. Look for more excitement as the Post tries to move into the 21st century with the help of the Gates family. Is this the first mixed-media family (Graham and Gates) marriage?
